Notes

• Available to all WMs immediately after joining the guild.
• This uses elemental charge, and is an Earth ability.
• Roundtime for all verbs scales down fairly quickly with summoning skill.
• The weapon cannot be GIVEN to another person.
• The weapons crumble a short period after being dropped.
• The weapon will move out of reach if someone else tries to pick it up.

E.g. As you reach for the broadsword, it slides quickly out of reach.

• There are six metaspells that modify this ability, one in each book.

• Knowledge of any metaspell raises the base weapon to Tier 3.
• The Air metaspell (Quick Infusions) reduces the RT of SUMMON, SHAPE, and TURN by 4 seconds.
• The Aether metaspell (Expansive Infusions) allows you to create weapons for any melee or thrown weapon skill.
• The Earth metaspell (Reinforced Infusions) allows the user to get additional Tier bumps from Crafting Techniques and holding a very rare metal ingot.
• The Electricity metaspell (Shocking Infusions) allows the user to create weapons that do electric damage.
• The Fire metaspell (Fiery Infusions) allows the user to create weapons that do fire damage.
• The Water metaspell (Icy Infusions) allows the user to create weapons that do cold damage.

• Shaping to an elemental type will transfer the highest damage type of the weapon into that element.

Templates

• Conjured weapons are of the form <quality> <element> <template>.
• Quality is determined by the metaspells and weaponsmithing templates known.

crude	tier 2	Not knowing any Infusions metaspells	below average storebought
<no adjective>	tier 3	Knowing at least one Infusions metaspell	best storebought
